A
Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results f or many students who are not gifted enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer. They became dropouts.
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends—they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.
Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in the school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.
1. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. The Trouble in Japanese Schools
B. The Problems of Japanese Students
C. The Pressures of the Students in Japan
D. Education in Japan
2. “Dropouts” are those who ___.
A. make troubles in and out of schools
B. go about or stay home instead of being at school
C. try hard but always fail in the exams

3. Why do Japanese students work very hard at school and feel unhappy
A. They want to find a good job.
B. They want to pass exams.
C. They’re under pressure from their parents.
D. They’re not clever enough.
4. Failure in examinations cause students to ___.
A. chop out of school
B. quarrel with their parents
C. go to schools opening on weekends
D. have their parents lose hope

There is a bar in our town with the name “The White Horse”. It’s Mr. Webster’s. Few people went to the bar last year, but things are quite different now.
There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. Then a stranger came in one day, drank something, looked around the bar, and then said to Mr. Webster, “Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put on a picture of a black horse instead.”
“But the name of the bar is ‘The White Horse’.” Mr. Webster said.
“Yes, but do it.” the man said. Then he went out of the bar.
Mr. Webster went to an artist and said, “I want a picture of a black horse.”
The next day a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of that of the white horse. Soon after the door opened, a man came in and said, “There is a mistake on the door of your bar, and the picture is different from the name.” The man looked, sat down and drank something.
Then another man came in and said the same, and then another and another. A lot of people came in and said, “The picture on your door is wrong.” and they all stopped and drank in Mr. Webster’s bar.

Jimmy and Tommy were good friends. They both attended the same class in a school. Tommy was a clever boy. He could answer questions cleverly in class. He was quick at thinking. It seemed that everything was easy to him. He never seemed to work hard. He spent much time on football or other games.
Jimmy was not so clever as Tommy. He was slow in his work. But he was hard-working. He worked hard and steadily(扎实地) at his lessons day after day.
In the final examination of the term, everyone thought Tommy would be the first in the class. But it was wrong. The slow but hard-working Jimmy got the first place.
Although Tommy was quick and clever, he did not work hard, so he could not get the first. Jimmy was just different. He was slow but hard-working. So he did well in his lessons.
The story tells us that one cannot depend on (依靠) one’s cleverness. One still has to work hard and steadily at one’s own subjects or work.
